Island Dreams Coming True


One of the biggest challenges Prince Edward Island has had attracting large conventions (or accommodating multiple groups over high demand periods) has been a lack of appropriate meeting space. Well, all that is about to change with the construction of a new Convention Centre on the city's waterfront, directly attached to the Delta Prince Edward.

The $17.5 million dollar project is already underway, driving pilons and creating land where there wasn't before.  The end result will essentially double the size of the exisiting hotel ballroom to over 24,000 square feet, as well as providing additional breakout rooms to what the hotel already offers.  All the new space will be definitively "waterfront".

Completion date is anticipated to be sometime in March 2013..

JIMMY looks YUMMY


Guests of The James Hotel in New York may enjoy its sexy rooftop pool with a thoughtful "pool package", complete with signature flip-flops, Sunbum sunscreen, a reserved chaise lounge, and a couple of JIMMY cocktails. Let the pool party begin!  The hotel will also provide a "Turn-Over Call" for those cultivating an even tan - or perhaps a "Re-Apply Sunscreen!" reminder for us at-risk types.
